Get your discount tickets for the Ronda Self-Guided Audio Tour: The Bridge's Secret Prison, save up to 10% !
Overview
Ronda splits in two around the El Tajo gorge. Its Puente Nuevo bridge hides a chamber that's been a prison, a hotel, and now a small museum. Poet Rilke called Ronda his "city of dreams" – you'll hear why, and what's inside that bridge. This self-guided audio tour runs at your own pace, on nobody's schedule but yours. From the Alameda del Tajo gardens, cross the Puente Nuevo into the Old Town, taking in clifftop miradors, the Arab Baths, Casa del Rey Moro and the bullring. Narrated by Clive Muir, a 20-year Ronda-region resident and Andalucía travel writer, with an original flamenco score by local musician Paco Seco. Download it, put your headphones in and start whenever you like. No crowds!

10. PLEASE NOTE: PAID ATTRACTION FOR ENTRY. Casa de San Juan Bosco is an early 20th-century modernist villa perched on the edge of Ronda's Tajo gorge, in the town's historic quarter. Built for the Granada family, it was later bequeathed to the Salesian order – Don Bosco's own – as a retirement home for elderly priests. Inside, a courtyard lined with Arab-style ceramics holds a substantial collection of regional pottery, alongside 19th-century tapestries and walnut furniture. Its real draw, though, is the garden: laid out as a viewpoint in its own right, it opens onto sweeping views across the gorge and the mountains beyond.
